<p>It sounds like this is a tight knit trio and the younger ones may be seriously interested in seeing big bro off. Sounds like time for some conversation on what is really going to happen that day:</p>
<p>1) Day before - load car
2) Day of – drive for two hours. Join massive hordes of others at campus. Search high and low for parking. Unload stuff. Hump stuff to dorm room. Meet new roomie. Stay long enough to get in the way. Drive home. </p>
<p>Actually, it could be a ton of fun for the whole family if 1) everyone wants in on it and 2) there is room in the vehicle for all the bodies plus all the stuff. The younger ones are not so young that you would worry if you lost sight of one for a few minutes and they might be very, very helpful. </p>
<p>Talk about it. It could be a grand family adventure. What College kid wants is pivotal – but a family send off could be nice.</p>
